Recreate

This function is used to regenerate all panel subviews in the selected view from the model, in order to adapt the picture to changes made in the model. The function then uses the original data given to define the view.

If answering ALL on the indicate prompt, all views in the drawing will be remade. If a view is replaced by its envelope, it will however not be remade.

The function creates new pictures of those elements which are already included in the view, and will also add new panels within the view limits. It is possible to suppress the addition of new panels via OPTIONS on the identify prompt. OPTIONS also give the possibility to merge the indicated view with a previously stored view. Then, besides indicating a view, the operator is asked to key in the name of the stored view. An empty return will make the system search for a view, with the same name as the indicated one, on the data bank. This option is useful if views have been created in batch by Hull Model Drawings, and is also faster as no new view has to be created. The two features under OPTIONS can be combined.

Added information such as measurements and BL/CL are retained.

If UPDATE_NOTE is given the default file (SJ001.SBD/TBCHM.DEF), the hull modelling notes for position numbers, bevel and assembly will be updated with correct model information when views are recreated. The settings of the note will be kept. If the model object that the note is referring to has been deleted, only the reference line will be kept and the color changed to blue.
